Ledger® Live: Login

Secure access to your cryptocurrency wallet. Manage your assets, monitor market movements, and stay in control — all through Ledger® Live.

Welcome to Ledger® Live

Ledger Live is your all-in-one crypto management interface. It connects directly to your Ledger hardware wallet, giving you secure access to your portfolio while keeping your private keys offline. Whether you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets, Ledger Live lets you buy, sell, stake, and manage everything from one place — safely.

Logging in to Ledger Live ensures your connection is authenticated through your Ledger device. You remain the only one with control over your private keys.

Step 1: Access the Official Ledger Live Login

To start, ensure you are using the official Ledger Live platform. Access it via desktop or mobile:

⚠️ Security Warning: Never log in through search ads, unknown links, or email prompts. Always type the official address manually or bookmark it securely.

Step 2: Connect Your Ledger Device

After launching Ledger Live, you will need to connect your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano X, Nano S Plus, or other model). This establishes a direct, encrypted connection between your computer or phone and the device.

  1. Plug your Ledger device into your computer or connect via Bluetooth (Nano X).
  2. Enter your PIN on the device to unlock it.
  3. Open the required cryptocurrency app when prompted (for example, the Bitcoin or Ethereum app).

Ledger Live will automatically detect and authenticate your device, verifying that it’s genuine and untampered.

Step 3: Ledger Live Login Process

Ledger Live does not use a traditional username/password login like typical web platforms. Instead, your hardware wallet itself is the secure login key. When you open Ledger Live:

Secure Access Principle: Your device confirms every login or transaction. If a hacker compromises your computer, they still cannot move your funds without your physical Ledger approval.

Step 4: Setting Up the Password Lock

For extra privacy, you can enable a password lock inside Ledger Live. This prevents unauthorized access if someone uses your computer while the app is open.

  1. Open Settings → Security in Ledger Live.
  2. Toggle “Password Lock” to On.
  3. Choose a strong password combining letters, numbers, and symbols.
Pro Tip: Avoid reusing passwords from other sites. Use a password manager or unique passphrase for Ledger Live.

Step 5: Portfolio Dashboard Overview

After login, you’ll see the Portfolio Dashboard — your central hub for managing crypto. It displays:

Everything you see is locally secured — your private keys remain safely stored inside your Ledger hardware wallet.

Step 6: Managing Accounts and Assets

Ledger Live supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens. You can add or manage accounts easily:

  1. Go to Accounts → Add Account.
  2. Select your blockchain (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana).
  3. Open the same app on your Ledger device and confirm the address.
Quick Tip: Each blockchain requires its own app installed on your Ledger device. You can manage several at once, depending on memory availability.

Step 7: Sending and Receiving Crypto

Step 9: Updating Ledger Live and Device Firmware

Ledger continuously improves security through regular updates. Outdated firmware or app versions can expose you to risks. To stay safe:

  1. Open Ledger Live → Manager.
  2. Connect and unlock your device.
  3. Check for available updates for both the app and device firmware.
  4. Follow the guided process — never disconnect during an update.
Note: Updating does not affect your assets. All funds remain linked to your 24-word recovery phrase.

Step 10: Logging Out and Session Security

After finishing your session, log out securely to prevent unauthorized access:

Session Tip: Never leave Ledger Live open on shared or public computers. Logout immediately after use.

Step 11: Troubleshooting Login Issues

Step 12: Staying Safe from Phishing and Scams

Because Ledger users often hold valuable crypto, they are frequent phishing targets. Protect yourself by following these rules:

Phishing Alert: If any site requests your recovery phrase, it’s a scam. Close the page and report it to Ledger’s security team.
